FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1910. MILK COMBINE GRINDS DOWN Editor The Press:—l am glad you are showing up the milk ques tion and what may be expected in the future If the Big Four get their way. I was out in the country south of town recently and In quired the price paid to farmers for their milk and I found that milk shipped into these dealers is only bringing the farmer 15 cents per gallon, while recently the price has been raised to 10 cents the quart, or 40 cents per gallon. This in crease, we are told, is owing to high price of feed. Some of the farmers have sold their cows and more will because of the low price of their milk and the high price of feed. Yours truly, HENRY MYERS. Mr. Myers' observations as to the operations of the Big Four milk combine are timely and lorrect. Not content with grinding down the producer on the price paid for his commodity, the Big Four uses Its power at the city hall to enact new legislation from time to time that makes the business still better for the trust and less profitable for the farmer. Then the Big Four will cry, when the poor consumer in Spokane kicks, "Why, this is not a dairy country; nilk ought to sell for from 12 to 1"> cents per quart; you should not complain, because we are making no money out of it, and you may be thankful to get milk at any price." When the milk trust has suc ceeded In drivJng all of the little dairies out of the business, then the Big Four will quietly take over the cows themselves and absolute ly control the sltunion. No money In the dairy business, eh? lx>ok at the immense for tunes built up In the northwest in 10 or 1;"> years by the Hazehvood company, that practically controls the petal] price of butter and milk in Spokane. Look at the growth of the Pine Creek Hairy company and the Hroadview, two other con cerns in the Mia Four.

Dis trict attorneys, sheriffs and police chiefs are puzzled to decide wheth er the anti-gambling laws mean that play shall run through Satur day or whether the lid goes down on October 1. * During the past week the games "MY, IT IS GOOD TO BE FREE AGAIN" (By United Press Leased Wire.) SAX DIEGO, Cal., Sept. 30.— "My, It Is good to be free again!" These were the words that eanie from the Hps of Mrs. Julia P. Qulnn. who was freed yesterday afternoon by habeas corpus pro ceedings instituted by her brother, George H. Patteraon, a millionaire banker or New Castle, Pa., against the Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical society tor alleged unlawful restraint. Interviewed In the office of her, attorneys. declared that she had not seen a newspaper for months. She asked for a paper, saying that she wanted to know what was going on in the world. She declared that In the two years she was at Mrs. Katherine Ting ley's homestead on Point l.oma she had received but $2.">. Mrs. Quinn said she got $10 on ench of her birthdays and $,"> when her mother left to go East, where she died. Miring that time, she said, the sum of $12,000 had been paid Mra. Tingley and her associates for the support of herself and two chil dren, William. 12, and Harriet, 14. She said she waa permitted to see ' the children but one hour every Sunday and two hours every alter nate Sunday. This restraint applied also to her mother before her death, she 6ald. Since she entered the Theoaophy home, March 8, 1908, she had met, besides the attendants, she said, only six persons, three of whom were her relatives, her brother and his wife and Mrs. Crowell. GORED BY ANGRY BULL. j COIA'IM.M Wash., Sept. 30 — .lames Crawford, a well-known Mill Creek furmer, was yesterday morn ing gored by a Jersey bull, and narrowly escaped fatal injury. Mr. Crawford was rendered, un conscious and his head and face frightfully bruised and lacerated. Mr. Crawford, on entering the cor ral, did not notice that the bull had broken the rope fastening, and shut off all escape by closing and .latchlns ">e gate. His 10-year-old son saw the predicament and threw the dog Into the enclosure, divert ing the attention of the bull and saving his father's life. TWO TRAINS TO PORTLAND via o. r. ca N. 6 P.M.

And yet the Rig Four had the gall to go before the city council last Tuesday night and want a still more restrictive milk ordinance, which the city council wisely laid at rest. I were given a run. Players have made several cleanups, though no large winnings have been reported. A Chinaman is said to have won $1100 at keno, which game was put entirely out of business by this and other smaller winnings. The new laws will put 1000 men out of employment in the state and the effect is expected to be felt by the business houses. 3ome of the gambling houses will be converted into restaurants: others will exist with the saloon and bar as the sole attractions. Several divorcees visited the gambling halls today to take a final fling at the games. None of them made winnings worthy of mention. If they expected to see the passing in a blaze of glory as the final wlndup has been pictured in mag azines, they were disappointed. New Ship ment of Fine Violins just received.
